Balancing engaging storytelling with age-appropriate content can be tricky. I wonder what inspired the choices to make this accessible yet thrilling for children.

Transforming a well-known animated film into a picture book must involve interesting creative choices. I'm curious how the author approached capturing the film's magic in such a condensed format.
